Hyderabad Marathon - Weekly Buildup
Week 10 The work is done. The week was deliberately light, easy 4-milers on Monday and Thursday, a 3-miler on Wednesday, and Tuesday's 4 miles with 1.5 miles hard in the middle to keep the legs sharp. Recovery rides on the Kickr on Tuesday and Thursday, 35 minutes each. Strength training dropped this week, a conscious taper decision. Saturday's 8-miler at GKVK was the final long run of the block, solo, relaxed, and ahead of target. The plan was to average 9:40/mi, came in at 9:32/mi. Legs felt mostly fresh throughout, which is exactly the feeling you want heading into race week. Ten weeks of work, some brilliant, some frustrating, all necessary. The legs are ready. Now it's just about getting to the start line in one piece. Race week next.
